I had two Henri Cartier-Bresson encounters recently, the first was this very unusual picture postcard of a smiling HCB. I found the postcard at Bulldog News in Seattle, WA. This is rare because first it is a picture of Cartier-Bresson and he is smiling! I can't quite make out what camera he is holding and I love his belt buckle. It was taken by Martine Franck, his wife, in Normandie, France in 1970 sometime. The one, true master.
Full credit for the postcard is; "Martine Franck / Henri Cartier-Bresson / courtesy Fondation HCB © Nouvelles Images S.A. Martine Franck - Magnum Photos 2008"
The second encounter came in the June, 2010 NPPA Magazine, Newsphotographer, reporting on a new DVD set of 11 color and black and white films about and by Henri Cartier-Bresson. The title is "Henri Cartier-Bresson:Collectors Edition". It is published by Arthouse Films. I'm looking forward to seeing it soon.
Please forgive the quality of the scan, as you can tell, I don't do much scanning.
